Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on the proportion of people working in (a) law, (b) journalism, (c) politics, (d) medicine and (e) other professions who attended (i) selective and (ii) non-selective schools.
The Department does not hold this information.
The Sutton Trust has looked at this matter as part of its Leading People study, which can be viewed on its website.
